We continue our exploration of belief and metaphor, the life force, and narrative causality as the drivers of the Discworld’s physics. Don’t worry though, that’s not as dreadful as it might sound. 

In which we hear of Om, former small god desperate not to return to that status (and currently manifested in the form of a one-eyed tortoise) and of the relationship between belief and a god’s power. We also encounter Vorbis, a most unpleasant deacon of the Church of Om, and a man with who the protagonist of Small Gods, the novice Brutha (oh, brutha!) will have much to do over the course of the book.

This week’s trivia question: “A famous Ankh-Morpork tavern has a different name in The Color Of Magic than in later books. Give either name.” The first three correct listeners to answer correctly will get their names into the drawing for the Season Two grand prize, which my producer assures me will be quite grand indeed. 

As always, randy@mindkindle.net is the way to reach me.
